I attended an interview fair at a hotel near the Batavia, IL Aldi Corporate Headquarters. The large meeting room was occupied with interviewers as well as a stream of interviewees coming and going. I came prepared and had completed my online application the night before instead of completing it onsite. It actually took longer to fill out the application than the 5-minute interview. Evidently, the 5-minute interview is designed as a screening, and if the candidate makes the cut, they move to the next round. I didn't make the cut; however, I was extremely disappointed in the VERY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL manner in which the interviewer conducted the interview. She asked me a series of questions, and during that time, she would not look at me. Instead, she was preoccupied with something over my shoulder. She was barely listening. It's quite obvious she didn't make a connection with me and could really care less about my skills and qualifications. I was dressed appropriately and professionally and I have an impressive background with solid references. As a matter of fact, an employer of the hotel complimented me on my outfit. As far as the interview, I know that the answers I provided were on point. It really makes wish I had one of the other interviewers because for some reason I was judged upon negatively by this woman. On the other hand, there were 10 openings, and I've since heard the reason there are so many openings is because of the high turnaround with Aldi, Batavia, IL. I deserve a better atmosphere with people who respect and care about me anyhow!
